196501-469528 FOI Commissioning

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, I would like to make the following request for information relating to adult learning disability and autism day services.
 

1. Supported in a group
 
a. The average (arithmetic mean in £ and pence) rate you pay per hour for someone supported in a group? (for example, the day rate divided by 6 hours + staff and people present)
 
b. What is the expected ratio of staff to supported persons at these day services?
 
c. Do your day services for those supported in a group include transport? Yes/No
 
d. Do your day services for those supported in a group include food/refreshments?    Yes/No
 
2. 1-1 support
 
a. Again focusing on day services, the average (arithmetic mean in £ and pence) rate you pay per hour for someone who needs 1-1 support?
 
b. Do your 1-1 support day services include transport? Yes/No
 
c. Do your 1-1 support day services include food/refreshments? Yes/No
 
We are asking for two different service fee rates.
1) for people supported on a one-to-one basis and 2) for people supported on a group basis. If two staff are supporting up to 8 people, we would expect the hourly rate for the service to be approximately a quarter of the hourly rate for a one-to-one service.
